DELIVERQUOTA(8) S. Varshavchik. DELIVERQUOTA(8) NAME deliverquota - deliver to a maildir with a quota SYNOPSIS deliverquota [-c] [-w percent] [-W filename] {maildir} {quota} DESCRIPTION deliverquota delivers mail to a maildir taking into account any soft- ware-imposed quota on the maildir. This manually-enforced quota mechanism is described in the maildirquota(7)[1] and maildirmake(1)[2] manual pages. Instead of setting up your mail server to deliver the message directly to a maildir, configure the mail server to run the deliverquota program in order to deliver the message, and specify the location of the maildir as the ar- gument to deliverquota. The second argument to deliverquota is optional. If present, quota speci- fies a new quota setting for this maildir. Specifying quota is equivalent to running maildirmake(1)[2] with the -q option. The second argument to de- liverquota is considered obsolete, and may be removed in the future. deliverquota reads the message from standard input and delivers it to maildir. maildir may specify a path directly to a maildir folder, not the main maildir (as long as the folder was created by the maildirmake(1)[2] command. The -c option automatically creates the maildir, and all missing parent subdirectories (as 'mkdir -p'). This option should be used with caution. The -w N option places a warning message into the maildir if the maildir has a quota setting, and after the message was successfully delivered the maildir was at least N percent full. The warning message is copied from the file specified by the -W option, or from /usr/local/etc/quotawarnmsg if -W was not specified. The "Date:" and "Message-Id:" headers are added to the message. The warning is repeated every 24 hours (at least), until the maildir drops below N percent full. RETURN CODE deliverquota delivers the message to the maildir and terminates with exit code 0 if the message can be delivered without going over quota. If the maildir is over its specified quota: the maildrop version of deliv- erquota terminates with an exit code 77 (EX_NOPERM); the Courier version of deliverquota terminates with an exit code 75 (EX_TEMPFAIL).
